Philip Cadell Peebles

Memorial, Kensal Green Cemetery

Philip Cadell Peebles (1842-1895) was a British paper manufacturer and racehorse owner.

He was head of A. M. Peebles and Son, Rishton and Whiteash Mills, Lancashire.[1]

In 1879, he bought the Rishton Paper Making and Staining Co., Ltd, which was formed in 1874, but went into liquidation in 1878. There was a serious fire on 6 April 1883, a three storey building was gutted, and three tons of Esparto grass was destroyed. Fortunately, there was insurance cover.[2]

Rishton Mill was closed by Robert Maxwell in February 1981.[2]
